Chapter 874 Should be inseparable from 89
Paimon was still waiting by Xu Ning's side, hoping that someone could see her expectations and would take out a grilled fish stick. However, upon hearing this sound, Kong rushed back into the cave immediately.
"Tillair...where is he?"
Xu Ning, holding the Hilichurl's hand, had already reached the cave entrance and was peering inside.
The campfire had just been lit, and the food was placed beside it, as if a meal was about to be served.
The stick that I had the dog sniff during the day was found lying near the entrance to the cave. It must have been because someone had heard the commotion outside and was hiding here with it.
But now, apart from Kong who rushed in, the cave is completely empty.
Xu Ning recalled the scene just now. In the short time it took him and Kong to exchange two words, Kong and Paimon rushed out, while Tyrell inside quickly picked up a wooden stick and hid it by the door. Then he took two steps forward, the stick fell to the ground, and he disappeared...
This is getting more and more interesting.
“Serene, I think this Miss Qiu is really hungry. Why don’t you take her to a suitable place to eat something… Oh, I forgot you’ve been sleeping for two days too. You should eat something as well?”
Xu Ning released the Hill Crawler and pulled out another stick of fish from his gourd, handing it over.
The "captain's" fingers suddenly clicked, but he still slowly reached out and took the fish, placing it in the Hilichurl's newly freed hand.
"You think..."
The "captain" glanced at Kong, who was tapping on the walls of the cave searching for a mechanism, and asked half a question.
Xu Ning nodded in understanding, "Yes, it should be pretty close."
The "captain" nodded, reached out and grasped the Hilichurl's arm, and led it quickly away into the distance.
Xu Ning did not enter the cave. Instead, he stood at the entrance, gently shaking the Dust Concealment Gourd, staring intently at everything inside the cave.
Just as the sound of the "captain" rushing past was almost gone, Kong, who was about to leave the cave to search for someone, suddenly saw a timid-looking girl behind him, who gently reached out and tugged at Kong's sleeve.
"Is this...your friend?"
Kong and Paimon were both taken aback and quickly turned around. "Tiler? Where did you hide just now?"
"Huh? I was hiding by the door... and then, I was probably too hungry to lift that heavy wooden stick, so I accidentally dropped it. I think I was unconscious for a little while. I guess I'd starve to death in another half hour..."
Upon hearing this, Kong immediately forgot about the strange incident from earlier and quickly pulled the girl to sit down by the fire, taking out various foods prepared in his small package.
Paimon, on the other hand, used the guise of a "food exchange" gathering to subtly urge Xu Ning to bring out some of Qingyi's signature dishes... even if they were cold.
Xu Ning smiled, selected a few large portions of cooked meat and some fruits to make a platter, then slowly drank his wine, watching the two "gluttons" showing off by the fire with the dumbfounded Kong.
It has to be said that this is the first time Xu Ning has seen someone who can rival Paimon in the matter of "showing off" food. The last one who could compare with Paimon was not a human, but a ghost named Douzi.
"Phew, I'm so full... I feel like my fate of starving to death is finally over. You guys saved me again. And this... Mr. Xu's food is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten."
The girl named Tyrell gently patted her slightly bulging belly, struggled to her feet, and thanked Xu Ning and Kong once each.
"This is nothing! One day I'll let you taste Qingyi's carefully prepared honey-glazed carrot and pork stir-fry, that will be the most delicious thing ever..."
Paimon, with a look of lingering satisfaction, waved his little hand and took the initiative to accept Tyrell's thanks.
"You came out alone? Recently, many abyssal monsters have gathered in this area, and it's dangerous everywhere. If there's nothing urgent, you should let Brother Kong escort you home. By the way, I don't know where you're from. Judging from your attire, you don't seem to be a Nata?"
Tyrell nodded. "My hometown is a small village, but I don't know where Nata is. I came out to find someone, but I got lost and encountered a monster. I don't know which way to go back home."
"That's going to be difficult." Kong couldn't help but sigh when he heard that Tyrell couldn't remember the way home.
Xu Ning didn't care about any of that. "Little girl, you may not remember, but I still remember how to get there."
"So who are you looking for this time... I don't mean anything by it, but in this world, I'm afraid there are few people who have traveled to more countries than Brother Kong and I. If this person is somewhat famous, perhaps we two have met her before?"
"Really!"
Tyrell was overjoyed, but then frowned. "However, I don't know her name... We all call her 'Savior,' because everyone says she can save our country and everyone..."
Upon hearing the name "Savior," Xu Ning gave the girl a deep look; it seemed he was right.
She is looking for Ying.
Back then, in order to obtain that power, the Black King deliberately promoted the title of "Savior" and tried to bind Ying to the chariot of realizing his ambitions.
It's laughable that many people were blinded by this glorious and righteous "title" at that time, and even some generals who had the duty to defend the country placed heavy responsibilities on such thin shoulders.
"Ha, so he's called 'Savior'? Actually, when I traveled through the six kingdoms with Sora, we were often called 'Savior' too!"
Tyrell turned his head blankly to look at the empty space, but in less than two seconds he immediately lowered his head, his face flushed red.
"Uh, what's wrong with my face?" Kong noticed Tyrell's expression and touched his face helplessly. Moreover, he felt that he had seen Tyrell's reaction somewhere before.
"No...it's nothing..."
Tyrrell stammered, "I just don't dare look at your face. I can only look at you for about three seconds..."
Xu Ning finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. This girl's way of speaking and personality were really interesting.
Kong was so embarrassed that he blushed deeply and didn't even know where to put his hands.
Tyrell seemed to realize that his words had been somewhat abrupt, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "But speaking of you being a savior as well, when I first saw your blond hair, I almost thought that the savior I had been thinking about had appeared in my mind..."
"Huh? You're not looking for Kong, are you? After all, we've saved many countries..." Paimon said in surprise.
Tyrell hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's not him. Although the appearance and features are very similar, the gender doesn't match at all. Our savior is a blonde girl..."
Blonde girl?
Sora and Paimon exchanged a glance. What she said was... Ying?
